Title: Bicycle seat assembly
Inventor: WHITE THOMAS H
IPC: B62J1/00
Filed: 1999-07-23
Abstract: A bicycle seat assembly having a functional surface area comprising a main support surface region and a center tactile surface region. At the center tactile surface region there is a raised center surface portion and outwardly facing side tactile surface portions to engage upper rear and side thigh surface portions of the person. There are right and left and primary support zones spaced on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis to support the right and left ischial-tuberosities of the person who is in a seated pedaling position. The forward support surface portions on opposite sides of the center tactile surface region are contoured so that the leading edge thereof has an upward and rearward slope. The seat is arranged to accommodate 95% of the adult population in the U.S., and enables the cyclist to operate effectively in the seated pedaling mode, the seated non-pedaling mode and the stand-up pedaling mode. The seat provides proper support and hygienic safety by alleviating a load bearing relationship between the lower center body portion with the seat and yet providing for clearance, mobility, and comfort for the person.

Title: A method of and apparatus for in-service-monitoring the operation of digital transmission links
Inventor: STEINER ERHARD
IPC: H04B17/40
Filed: 1986-04-21
Abstract: For monitoring the operation of digital transmission links, a frequency-shifted telemetry signal, which consists of individual messages which are regenerated separately from the useful signal in each regenerative repeater and are supplemented by the message of this regenerative repeater, is also transmitted via the transmission device provided for the digital useful signal. To increase the number of transmittable alarm indication messages per regenerative repeater, it is proposed to provide in the telemetry units of the regenerative repeaters an additional sampling switch which circulates cyclically and connects one of the connections carrying alarm indication data with a collecting point for the data block to be sent out with each message cycle and during this process skips all connections which do not carry any alarm indication data at the sampling time.

Patent AU-5681896-A (AU)
Title: Sequestered imaging agents
Inventor: POLLAK ALFRED
IPC: C07K7/06
Filed: 1996-05-16
Abstract: Compounds useful for high resolution diagnostic imaging incorporate an imaging agent having a chelator that is linked by a metal-cleavable bond to a ligand that has affinity for a site removed from the site of diagnostic interest. Upon labelling, the ligand is cleaved leaving the labelled imaging agent free to localize at the site of diagnostic interest unhindered, while the ligand and any unlabelled imaging agent is sequestered to the removed site. By sequestering unlabelled imaging agent, the labelled imaging agent does not compete to occupy the site of interest, resulting in images of enhanced resolution.
Patent AU-5758480-A (AU)
Title: Controlling extractive distillation
Inventor: PREUSSER G
IPC: B01D3/42
Filed: 1980-04-18
Abstract: A process and apparatus are provided controlling the heat input of an extractive distillation column. The bottom of the column is heated with a major stream of thermal energy which is either slowly varying in time or controlled by the amount of starting material mixture and with a minor stream of thermal energy which is controlled by sensing the thermodynamic state in the upper half of the column during the process. The major stream can provide about 90 percent and the minor stream about 10 percent of the heat fed to the column. The minor stream can be controlled by the temperature at one point in the upper half of the column, by the temperature difference at two points in the upper half of the column or by gas chromatographic analysis of the extract material concentration near the top of the column. The process allows one to keep a low concentration of the extract material in the raffinate.

Title: Endoluminal tissue excision catheter system and method
Inventor: FISCHELL ROBERT E
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1990-10-09
Abstract: An excision catheter comprises a cylindrical cutting head (22) with a rearwardly directed cutting edge (24). The catheter has a flexible nose (36) enabling the catheter to be fed into an artery over a pre-inserted guide wire which passes through the lumen (32) of the catheter. During insertion, the cutting edge (24) is shielded by the distal end (58) of an outer sleeve catheter (52). Following insertion, the sleeve (52) can be retracted to expose the cutting edge (24) of the cutting head (22). The cutting head is then pulled back through the obstructive tissue which accumulates in the tissue collection chamber (28) inside the cutting head (22). Prior to withdrawal, the open end of the cutting head can once again be sealed by retraction against the tip (58) of the outer sleeve (52), thus trapping the excised tissue in the chamber (28) for removal of that tissue from the body. Preferably means are provided for rotating the cutting head during the excision. <IMAGE>

Title: Plasma processing system utilizing combined anode/ion source
Inventor: MANLEY BARRY W
IPC: C23C14/00
Filed: 1998-03-27
Abstract: Plasma processing apparatus may comprise a process chamber having a process gas supply for providing a process gas to the process chamber and a vacuum pump for maintaining the process chamber within a predetermined pressure range. A cathode/target assembly positioned within the process chamber is connected to a first terminal of an external power supply. An anode/ion source assembly is also positioned within the process chamber and may include an electrode member having a central aperture therein that defines an active surface on the electrode member. The electrode member is connected to a second terminal of the external power supply. A magnet positioned adjacent the electrode member produces an electron-confining magnetic tunnel adjacent the active surface of the electrode member. The electron-confining magnetic tunnel momentarily traps electrons adjacent the active surface, some of which ionize some of the process gas. A shield member having a central aperture therein surrounds the electrode member so that the central aperture of the shield member is generally aligned with the central aperture in the electrode member. The shield member is electrically insulated from the electrode member.

Title: Methods for detecting, identifying, isolating, and selectively labelling and targeting th1 lymphocytes by means of the lag-3 protein
IPC: A01N63/00
Filed: 1996-07-19
Abstract: The lymphocyte ativation gene (LAG-3) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is selectively transcribed in human activated T and NK cells. Surface LAG-3 expression correlated with IFN-gamma but not IL-4, production in antigen-stimulated T-cells and it was up-regulated by IL-12 and is preferentially associated with CD4+ T-cells producing Th1-type cytokines. The presence of LAG-3 on the surface of Th1 lymphocytes is used as a marker to detect and identify Th1 lymphocytes and differentiate them from Th2 lymphocytes. Monoclonal antibodies to LAG-3 are used in methods of detecting and isolating Th1 cells as well as methods of diagnosing Th1-mediated disease. The present invention also relates to methods of treating infectious diseases, cancer, and disorders assocated with Th1/Th2 imbalance.

Patent AU-7179294-A (AU)
Title: Automated chemical analyzer with apparatus and method for conveying and temporary storage of sample tubes
Inventor: MAZZA JOHN C
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 1994-06-28
Abstract: An automated chemical analyzer includes an automated conveyor apparatus for receiving a variety of sizes of test tubes, cuvettes, and sample tubes in a standard carrier member receivable into the analyzer. The standard carrier members may be interlocked in ranks and placed side by side in file to replicate the size and handling convenience of conventional test tube racks. However, the conveyor apparatus also provides for receipt of the carriers either as individuals for stat handling, or in interlocked ranks, or as rank and file groups for routine handling. The interlocked ranks of carriers are automatically unlocked from one another and fed along with the carriers having stat samples therein to a recirculating endless loop conveyor device which conveys the samples to at least one chemical analysis module, as well as providing a storage capacity both for samples in testing, and those samples awaiting verification of test results. Carriers with samples on which testing is completed and verified are discharged from the endless loop conveyor device into an off-loading facility which again interlocks the carriers and presents them in rank and file groups for subsequent handling like conventional test tube racks.
